this happened in katrina. there was some uncertainty about what caused a particular structural damage. in katrina you had all lots of houses and structures completely wiped off. the only thing left was a slab of concrete. and so, it was very difficult to determine whether the damage was caused by the wind associated with katrina or whether it was swept away by the storm surge. there was a lot of controversy about whether the damage was caused by wind or water. that's important. if it's caused by water, then the national flood insurance program picks up the tab. if wind, the private insurance market picks up that tab. this storm, i don't anticipate there being that much controversy surrounding this issue, partly because, based on the footage i have seen, there have not been the widespread slab properties at a total loss that katrina had. i think, in the storm we will have a better opportunity for the adjusters to come out and they use a very scientific process looking at the storms, looking at the actual damage
